If a business has a culture of strong psychological safety then employees will feel more comfortable and confident in speaking up - and this can help its leaders identify psychosocial risks. In a recent webinar, Mark Oostergo, Workplace Psychologist and Chief Executive at Australian Psychological Services, had the following advice for businesses who may need to bolster psychological safety within their teams. 👉 Communicate why the process is taking place and express a genuine intent to listen and understand people's experience. 👉 Reinforce that the data is going to be de-identified. 👉 If there's low psychological safety from a leadership perspective, consider an external provider. 👉 Clearly communicate your action plan, to build trust you will follow through. For more tips and information, check out the full webinar recording. It’s part of Sonder’s Navigating psychosocial risk management series. In partnership with Australian Psychological Services and Norton Rose Fulbright, the webinars offer expert advice Navigating psychosocial risk management to build a safer workplace.

Leadership encompasses three broad groups of competencies (specific knowledge/skills sets): ♥ Leading yourself ♦ Leading others ♠ Leading the organisation   Leadership development often hones in on one or two of these competency groupings, but regularly fails to address all three. You can set your own leadership up on solid foundations with an intentional focus on each of the competency groupings. I explore each of these in more detail in my latest blog.  https://lnkd.in/gfgfkxEV #leadership #selfleadership #organisations #leadershipdevelopment

Is there a gap between how your work gets done (WAD) and what's on paper (WAI)? Organisational drift is when day-to-day work practices gradually deviate from the documented procedures and standards. This shift may happen slowly over time, often unnoticed or accepted by management.

What makes a great employer? We have been fortunate enough to have worked in many organisations. Here's a few things that we have noticed about the truly great companies; 💡 Ownership - Have clear direction; know where you are going, and how you will get there and communicate this effectively. Provide the tools to allow your staff to do their work and leave them to get on with it. Continue with plenty of informal feedback, whilst avoiding micro-managing. 💡 Career - Give people something meaningful to work on outside of their day-to-day work. Ideas on work practices and change processes (the way change is implemented) should be from the bottom up, not the top down. Encourage participation in projects outside of their usual role, should they have the capacity to do so. 💡 Environment - No one likes working in a cramped dark cold cupboard. Have plenty of natural light, provide places to relax and make these places feel like 'home'. 💡 Happiness - happiness keeps people motivated. Value each person; celebrating birthdays and festive events. 💡 Fantastic Managers - They genuinely care for their people. They don't refer to them as employees, workers, or staff, they always refer to their 'people'. Regardless of how busy they are with their own work, they are curious and engaged with their team members. #mindhealth #mentalhealth #workplacewellbeing #workplaceculture #culture #companyculture #teamwork #team #wellbeingatwork #professionaldevelopment

How do you maintain portfolio-wide strategic alignment? A pattern for success is creating a connected system of work: * Express your organisational strategy as 3-5 multi-year measurable outcomes (OKRs). * Connected to the multi-year strategy are annual outcomes.  * Quarterly outcomes will be connected to annual outcomes  * All work in backlogs to be connected to quarterly outcomes Do you know the % of work in your portfolio that is connected to strategy? This enables clarity about why work is happening, whether it is having the right impact and which strategies are active. Curious to learn how you can improve alignment and strategic outcomes?

Change can be hard, for a bunch of reasons. As leaders, we need to ensure we make changes at a pace our team (and our stakeholders) can manage, in order of priority. Making big changes too quickly can be detrimental for any organisation. Brainstorm, strategise, and execute as slowly as you need to. Your people will thank you for it. ✨ #InspirationalQuote #BusinessQuote #LeadingTeams
